‘Did he drug me too?’: how daughter of Gisèle Pelicot feared she had also been a victim of her father - eviltoast

Summary

Caroline Darian’s book reveals her father’s abuse of her mother, including drugging and inviting strangers to rape her.

Darian also discovered disturbing photographs of herself, leading her to question whether she was also a victim of her father’s abuse. “How could he have photographed me in the middle of the night without waking me? Did he also drug me? Worse still, did he abuse me?”

The trial of Dominique Pelicot and 50 other men accused of raping his wife continues, with expert testimony suggesting the perpetrators were not ordinary men.

    That’s reasonable and understandable. Calling every man a rapist is not.

      I agree. Where did anyone do that? All I see is women using my argument to protect themselves. Aramis87 acknowledged the existence of good men with “yes”, then expressed it’s still safer to chose the bear, which it is.
